DEFCON Toronto, GTALUG, and USENIX: Tor is Coming to Canada This Month

When people talk about Tor, they almost always think of the Tor daemon or Tor Browser. While this was true earlier, the Tor ecosystem has now expanded and includes a diverse set of applications helping you protect your privacy online or to circumvent Internet censorship.

Learn About the Tor Ecosystem in Toronto

Sukhbir Singh is a software developer in the applications and community team and has been with us since 2012. At two talks this month in Toronto, Sukhbir will introduce Tor and then walk through the Tor ecosystem: all of the applications build around it. These talks are appropriate for Tor beginners and advanced users.

Learn about the Tor ecosystem from Sukhbir Singh at:

• GTALUG, Tuesday, August 8, 7:30 PM

• DEFCON Toronto, Wednesday, August 9, 2017, 6:00 PM
